HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 cc1636-7
78. Mr. ANDERSON

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the case of Mrs. Mackenzie, of Achnasheen, Lochrosque estate, Ross-shire, the wife of a soldier now in France, who was ejected from her home simultaneously with the husband going out to France, and who has since been compelled to accept the accommodation of a local washhouse; whether he is aware that an application on the part of this soldier to the Scottish Board of Agriculture has produced no result, and that an offer to his landlord to pay for a house and small holding has been met with definite refusal; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made with a view to helping this soldier to secure a home for his wife?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

I am inquiring into this case, but my information is not yet complete. If my hon. Friend will put another question in a week's time I hope to be in a position to reply.
